ABBOTT, Zadie (1900-1912) Keowee Courier, LITTLE ZADIE ABBOTT DEAD. 
Death Casts Deep Gloom Over Community---Local News, Coneross, July 29,
 ---Special: Last Wednesday at 11 a. m. the death angel entered the 
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Abbott, of this community, and conveyed 
from earth to heaven the spirit of their daughter, Zadie. The entire 
community is overshadowed with gloom in consequence of the sad and 
unexpected death, which was due to typhoid fever. Zadie was 12 years 
of age. Although she was young she had given her life into the keeping 
of the One who has taken her away, and was a loyal little soldier for 
her Savior. It does not seem possible that our little friend is gone, 
yet we have to realize that God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to 
call her to that beautiful city above. She was the only daughter and 
youngest child of J. S. Abbott. She will be greatly missed, not only 
in her home, but in the church and Sunbeam work, and especially in the 
Sunday school, in which she was a devoted worker. More especially will 
her loss be felt by her Sunday school classmates of twenty little 
girls, and by her teacher. Her place in her clss was seldom vacant. 
It was a beautiful yet sad sight the day following her death when four 
of her little girl friends, dressed in white, entered the church, 
bearing the many pretty flowers, mute tokens of love, followed by the 
lovely white casket, borne by six of her uncles. A deep gloom fell 
over the large audience which had assembled to pay the last sad 
tribute of respect to their dear little friend. Funeral services were 
conducted by her pastor, Rev. L. D. Mitchell, who just about one year 
ago buried her in baptism. The remains were interred in Coneross 
cemetery. The bereaved family have the sympathy of many friends in 
their sorrow. Contributed by: Susan Brock-Booker, sbrockbooker@aol.com
